Default Estimate of pushrods...

Hey whats up, I need a ballpark figure of the pushrod length I need. I know there are countless stickies/threads about this, I already have the pushrod checker because thats the right way to do it i kno, BUT i want to order a set that is a different length, so if my stocks (7.400") dont work I am not dead in the water. I figured best way to get an educated guess is the guys on this site cause i knoyou got more experience since this is my first swap....luckily i live bout an hour from summit racing in ohio so its no big deal to swap them out. Anyway here is my set up. I am installing...

'98 NBM Z28 (I know color doesnt make a difference but I wanna gloat lol)

'05 243 Heads
Comp Cams XER273HR (.581/.592 224/230 114)
LS2 Timing chain
LS6 oil pump
Keeping stock 76k lifters

I was thinking that since the base circle is smaller by approximately .050" so i would go with a 7.425"...Like i said i want to kno if any of you guys ran this cam give some advice..Good lookin
